[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 3136272, member: 20931"] What that says is that you can choose your alignment, and the DM has the right to change it if you don't live by those standards. He may make the change retroactive, but until they do the change is solid. Once you make the choice to live a certain way, you change your methods accordingly. There are too many stories of evil folks turning good over a single event to say 'nope, can't happen that way'. Look at the helm of opposite alignment. You don't need to back up your new alignment, it instantly changes and you act approprately. It doesn't slowly poison you, you just change. A paladin doesn't have to slowly become evil to become a blackguard. All he has to do is say 'Screw this, I'm going to that party!' and he gets bonuses or instant conversion. Same with the warlord. He chooses to be good, then backs his choice after the fact. A DM may force you act in a manner that slowly turns evil, but the conversion charts for this PrC don't require it. [/QUOTE]
